Oscar the Bunny Rabbit

I finally finished the proto-type for a bunny rabbit crochet animal. The pattern is available on Etsy at: http://www.etsy.com/search_results_shop.php?search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6210963&search_query=oscar

I would put it out on Ebay, but Ebay has decided I was in violation of their policies. Apparently, "Sales of digital items -- meaning those you can download or send by email -- are restricted on eBay. Sellers need to use the Classified Ad format for these items and only list them in the Everything Else > Information Products category." So, I went to look what was out in this category...there aren't any amigurumi patterns. Hmmm...I will have to think about this one.

Update on Ellie -- well, she had another low blood sugar incident about a week and a half ago. So, no meds for now. We had to pick up an appetite stimulant because her metabolism went down to nothing, which of course affects her insulin levels. Ah, what a wicked web we weave. So, she was supposed to start up her hyperthyroid meds tomorrow, but the vet indicated we should wait a couple more weeks.

Ah, the Bulldogs won the WCHA Final Five on Saturday...it was very exciting! So, they got a second seed for the NCAA tournament. The west regional is here in Minneapolis. I went to see how much tickets were...ha, they were $170 for the 3 games for 2 people. UGH! Hopefully the games will be on TV.

Well, that is all for now.

Ellie Update

Well, it has been an interesting day so far. I took Ellie down to the vet to check on how she was doing with her new pills to treat her thyroid condition. The doctor thought she was doing really well, she has gained about 1/2 pound and her heart rate was really good.

So, I drove back home, where she jumped out of the car once we were in the garage and ran to the back door.

A little while later, she was digging in her food pushing it all over the place, then she started pacing. It looked like her back legs were giving out. She would walk around the entire room really close to the wall. Chris (my hubby) finally decided to call the vet back, and then thought she might be in insulin shock. So, we got out the Caro syrup, which she licked off of my finger quite quickly. The vet also thought it was insulin shock.

She seems to be doing better now. We are going to take her back to the vet in a little bit.

I wish the vet wasn't so far away (about 30 minute drive), it has been a long day and it isn't over yet. I am going to the same vet that my parents have been going to forever. He is a really good vet and seems to take care of the animals really well. When I moved north of the Cities about 11 years ago, I just continued to take her there.

More to come...
